Document Summary
Mitochondria enzyme coding genes that function within i t. These genes are important for atp synthesis other functions inside the cell that allow it to function and thrive in its environment. Mitochondrial dna is all maternal, and is circular. Mitochondria is an intracellular organelle (cid:498)powerhouses(cid:499) but also have many. Human mitochondrial dna encodes for 37 genes almost all are protein and. Can"t function with only their own genome, most of the genes needed are encoded in the nucleus have their own genome because of where we think they originated from. Ancestral prokaryote that have glycolytic enzymes allowing it to get energy from glycolysis. Aerobic heterotrophic prokaryote with its own oxidative metabolism similar to mit. Over time, the ancestral prokaryote engulfed the aerobic heterotrophic prokaryote, so it becomes an endosymbiote (a cell with another cell inside it) capable of both glycolysis and oxidative metabolism = ancestral heterotrophic eukaryote.
